Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 6 of 14 accessibility and community-serving function. Moreover, the proposed Project represents a valuable recreational asset that can significantly benefit the broader community, particularly in our park-deficient City. Specifically, the indoor component provides year-round access to recreational opportunities in a controlled and safe environment, which is especially beneficial in urban areas where available land for traditional outdoor parks and sports fields is limited. Goal N-1 encourages the reduction of noise impacts to sensitive receptors. Policy N-1.4 supports buffering strategies and operational adjustments to minimize noise impacts. The proposed project includes a range of noise mitigation measures, such as limited outdoor operational hours, restrictions on amplified sound, and landscaped buffers along Warner Avenue to reduce potential impacts on nearby residences and school uses. These efforts align with the City’s goal of maintaining a peaceful environment for all community members. Goal UD-2 emphasizes the importance of high-quality design that improves the visual character of neighborhoods and commercial areas. Policy UD-2.1 promotes the integration of pedestrian- friendly and visually engaging spaces. Footlab’s site improvements, including façade upgrades, outdoor field enhancements, lighting controls, and landscaping, significantly improve the aesthetics of the existing property. The design creates an inviting and active street presence that contributes positively to the built environment. H. Pursuant to Section 41-650 of the SAMC and the analysis in the Request for Planning Commission Action dated April 28, 2025, and exhibits attached thereto, the Planning Commission modifies the regulations in Section 41 - 482(a) of the SAMC to allow for ancillary outdoor business activities as part of the proposed Project. Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the Project is exempt from further review, pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32) of the CEQA Guidelines (In-Fill Development Projects), because the Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and applicable general plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. Moreover, the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres; the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; approv al of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024- 98, will be filed for this project.
